In 2012, Campaign for Wool chose Arabella McNie as the inspirational curator of “Wool House”, the biggest ever celebration of wool, and most expensive venture for the campaign. The event, hosted at Somerset House, showcased modern and visionary uses for wool across a range of interiors, fashion and artisanal crafts, including installations and room sets from leading artists and designers.
“I was determined to show wool as a modern fibre and visitors saw a broad spectrum from ultra-modern and hi-tech to highly luxurious and more traditional. There are some amazing fabrics and flooring and Wool House showcased some stunning room sets which really demonstrated the difference that wool can make and hopefully inspired greater use of the fibre” - Arabella.
"A must-see exhibition, full of inspirational ideas."
